Diablo + Hellfire

I'm old enough that I was in my 20s when this first came out. Even then it was a clunky hack-and-slash button-masher that failed to inspire me. It has no appreciable story to it, epecially compared with modern games. The graphics are painful and the entire experience is dreary and stressful. It's a repetitive grind with occasional intersting drops that don't make up for the mind-numbing gameplay. I've always wondered why people enjoyed this and, now that there are so many zillions of better games from which to choose, I'm even more perplexed.

diablo is the commercially most successful rogue-clone rpg. by today's standards, it is hardly playable / bearable, and more or less an endless grind of monotonous button-clicking until your index finger joints hurt. it had been hyped by blizzard, who continued milking the franchise with diablo 2, diablo 3 -- and now with ridiculous pricing here on gog, albeit it is an outdated game with a trope that had been used to death (the hero as world savior from certain doom) on countless occasions. the hellfire expansion by sierra is not included, which is a shame, really (no monk class available). it will be interesting to see if blizzard will authorize the release of diablo 2 with the lord of destruction expansion, then the series would be complete. however, today is it only of nostalgic value to rpg collectors and completists. if you want enjoyable gameplay, go for throne of darkness and titan quest or path of exile.

Hell-o :-) At first I would like to introduce you a malverous cartoons that bring back your memories: http://pozdrawiam.lo.gs/carbot-animations-gallery241522 - this was done by individual, who needs support. 2nd. There is a mod of Diablo/Hellfire that is mountained by Russian individual developer, and the Diablo game is patched REWRITTEN by him very well. Imagine Diablo at 1920x1080 on 50" LCD - imagine it. Imagine that every NPC in town could be near - no need to go 5 minutes to reach Adria. Imagine that you have a "hellfire" stash available for every player in one team, during a game (and it is permanent at the machine) /no mixing signleplayer stash with multiplayer stash/. Imagine that each time you start in Dungeons under chapel monsters are stronger and 1-5 levels could bring 2 upgrades for your characters. Imagine your character run always but slows down to stepping when monsters are around - not always just endless walking through empty passages. Maybe stop imagine and use the mod - 5$ for individual developer is more significant to the community than spending it here for the software that wasn't patched last 20 years (D 1.09b patch is dated May 2001). Did I mention that I use 2-years old binaries on W7/WXP and the developing and (OS bug fixing) is still done month by month. I advise you. Use your money for that title very wise! Sorry GOG, the individual developer should be supported for his contribution to the TITLE. Blizzard s*ckz - it is true.

I don't know what went wrong, but the Butcher, King Leoric, and all associated quests and lore are gone. Missing. The most memorable moments from Diablo are missing. I don't know if this was the case for the playstation version, but this is not Diablo.

No expansion. 20+ year old title for $10? Ugh. It was a fantastic game, back then. But you're just doing yourself a disservice if you support Blizzard's attempt at spinning this shenanigan to fund their mobile clone.
